All my soup is cat soup. Having three cats means all my food has a light sprinking of cat in it.

One of my favourite podcasters frequently states that "the world is covered in a fine layer of poo.  This is why I only eat deep fried food".

[19 YO KID] "Write a letter to Netflix and rip them for more show selections."

[ME] "When I grew up I had a choice of 9 broadcast stations. THAT'S ALL FOLKS."

FOGEY FTW

9?  You were lucky.  We had 4.  Then 5.

When I was in elementary school, we had 3 - and one of those was in black&white.

Man I am in my mid 20s and I grew up with 7?  8?

I am damn happy about that and still only have 7 or 8.

I swear if was one of you guys on here that first posted this but my memory is for crap right now. Anyway, remember how warm and nostalgic you get for the old school simplicity of Commodore 64 and wish you still had easy access to some of the games? That's how your kids will feel about the iPhone you hand them when they get bored at a party. They'll reminisce about their favorite apps.

When I was a kid we had 3 stations, by the time I graduated from high school we were up to 6.  When I was little all of the stations went off the air at night. Some of them still did at the time I graduated.

Remember, I was in the SoCal basin and so had the advantage of location. I mean c'mon, I got to watch the Three Stooges on Gene Autry's TV station.

Gene Autry spent the night in my Grandparent's house in Greenville, Kentucky.

Same age, but I can't remember a time without cable. My earliest memory of television is watching the disney channel every morning before pre-school.

I'm about the same age as Ash and AW, I think, but we must have been really early adopters of cable. If you didn't have it, you got one station halfway decently, and one or two others poorly. Whenever I was at my high school girlfriend's house, we ALWAYS watched NBC because that was the only station she got.
But at our house, we originally had 12 channels (2 through 13), though a lot of them were kinda duplicates--I think there were three NBC affiliates, two ABC, two or three CBS. Then in roughly 7th grade, we got a little box that allowed you to select more channels--we got ESPN, TBS, CNN, and USA. Then a year or two later, they added MTV (it was channel 19, I remember it well) and man that was HUGE.

[CortJstr]

We've had cable as long as I can remember. I recall checking out MTV a couple times for Monty Python but once they stopped showing that I never turned it on again.

Who then, in the creator's mind, is the real president?

[jaydub]

My wife's grandfather was Frank James.  Actually, he was Clyde Ellis, but saying he was Frank James got him more drinks at bars.

Who then, in the creator's mind, is the real president?

I'm guessing they are saying he's illegitimate because he was born in Kenya or whatever. So the real president would be, Oh I don't know, John McCain I guess?
